Kites Beat Vesutan, 4-3
The Kinboshi Kites faced a tenacious opponent in Vesutan pitcher Bill Knox, but still scratched out a win at Konohana Stadium by a final score of 4-3 in 10 innings. Knox went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Toyoji Tsuda picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 4-2. Toshimichi Yamamoto, who is a six-time All-Star, was tagged with the loss. Kinboshi is 5th in the Western League with a record of 38-39.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Kinboshi shortstop Akichika Goto, facing Toshimichi Yamamoto, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Kites the 4-3 win.

In postgame remarks, Goto applauded his team's "business-like approach."
